   Cap No hi ha cap discussió a Converses sobre aquesta obra.   ) Vesper1931 | Jul 29, 2021 |  ) chibitika | Sep 28, 2020 | So why did I not give it 5 stars? The final bit was less polished than the rest. Although it doesn't detract too much from overall enjoyment of the book, there's a sense that a deadline popped up too soon or that the author just got tired of writing. There are still a few copy errors and some awkward transitions. It was also a bit of a stretch that the second part of the diary is found so easily. Much better, perhaps, to have been satisfied with clues garnered from the original find (or have someone from the present steal pivotal pages that could then be retrieved/confessed). As far as taking a dog from the US to France (and returning), it would help to tick off a few of the conditions and at least muse on the hazard (pets sometimes suffer or die in transit). Still, a highly enjoyable read that I recommend. (  ) Carrie.Kilgore | Nov 29, 2013 | Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

Why did a nun in a seventeenth-century convent flagellate herself until her blood spattered the wall? Why did nuns save a child doomed to death in the Holocaust and who wanted her killed? Who wants a lost head-shaped reliquary that holds something other than a head? And are answers to these questions the key to a terrible modern-day death in a quiet archive? When American historian Pandora (Dory) Ryan finds a very rare, uncataloged seventeeth century nun's diary inside a record book at the provincial archives in Avignon, she is thrilled. This is historian's treasure. But she doesn't know yet that it will send her on a search that brings about changes in how she feels about her profession, the irrational, and love with a sexy Frenchman. And it will take her from the archive on a dangerous adventure into the countryside of Provence, which, beautiful as it is, has a long and bloody history. The archive's dramatis personae: the grumpy archivist, with his paper-clip chains; the gofer, who smokes Gauloises and gets away with far too much; a nun with a sense of humor who harangues high school kids about sex; the nun's glamorous sidekick; a famous American historian, whose requests for documents are inexplicably denied; the eminent professor, destined to fall in love; his nervous graduate student. And that sexy Frenchman, who isn't who he says he is. No s'han trobat descripcions de biblioteca. |
